Chapter 66: Robbery
One mile away, the time for the war horse to charge is only about thirty seconds, although the initial speed of the war horse is not fast, but the further back, the speed of the war horse can be described as galloping.
When the soldiers of Yanshan Pass, who had set up the barricade, noticed that someone was driving a horse and rampage towards them, they didn't have time to react at all.
With the help of the strong impact of the war horse, he knocked several soldiers who could not dodge into the air at once, and then rode directly between the two rows of antlers blocking the road, and in the blink of an eye, his figure gradually faded away in the smoke and dust of the sky, until he disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"Enemy attack—"
After a moment, a soldier finally came back to his senses and roared in surprise.
"Speed signals to nearby cavalry that they are encountering an enemy!"
The uncle, who had risen from the ground in a hurry, gave the order without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, a soldier quickly lit the warning wolf smoke prepared in advance, and as the wolf smoke rose, it didn't take long for a cavalry team of nearly 100 people to rush to the scene, and after learning the whereabouts of the target, they immediately chased after it non-stop.
At the same time, Chen An, who had broken through the barricades, galloped all the way to Yongping Mansion, not daring to slow down the speed of his horses at all.
Because he knew very well that after his whereabouts were exposed, the pursuers of Yanshan Pass would definitely bite him like mad dogs, and if he couldn't get rid of the other party before he arrived at Yongping Mansion, one could imagine what a dangerous situation he would face.
I don't know if there is a problem with the horse prepared by the other party, as a rider, Chen An can easily feel that although the explosive power of the war horse under the crotch is good, but the endurance is obviously not durable enough, which he had suspected last night, and now the same situation has happened again, the war horse began to be tired and sweaty after galloping for twenty or thirty miles, foaming at the mouth, as if there was a possibility of sudden death at any time, it can be seen that the Yanshan Pass soldiers who prepared the horse for him at that time were definitely not well-intentioned.
Is it really going to kill this horse?
At present, there is still more than half a distance from Yongping Mansion, and it is difficult to reach it in one or two hours, and I am afraid that he will not be able to hold out for so long with the state of the war horse, the problem is that once he stops, the pursuers behind him will inevitably take the opportunity to catch up, and the possibility that he can escape by then is very small.
Army operations have always paid attention to the arrangement of troops, group cooperation, a single soldier is brought out, with Chen An's strength, it is natural to fight as many as he wants, but once these soldiers form a military formation, the difficulty of dealing with them will be doubled in an instant, if the other party carries a long-range attack weapon such as a bow and crossbow, I am afraid that he will shoot directly into a sieve before he gets close.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not choose to take the initiative to fight them.
Perhaps it was the endless road, but in front of the official road, he actually saw a small convoy.
When he was galloping towards the other party on his horse, the other party also noticed Chen An, who was not good at the people behind him, and stopped the convoy vigilantly, and the guards stopped in front of the convoy one by one.
Phew—
As Chen An approached the convoy, he gradually slowed down his horse, and finally stopped his horse just a few steps away from the convoy guards.
"Who is coming, do you know ......?"
Before the guard on the other side finished speaking, Chen An picked up the spear in his hand and pointed forward.
"Everyone, forgive me for being rude!"
As he spoke, the spear was like a dragon reaching out to the guard who had just spoken on the other side, and swept the other party off his horse in an instant.
"Bold thief!"
The rest of the guards reacted immediately, and they all drew their waist knives to prepare to meet the enemy, but they were not Chen An's opponents at all, and they all let Chen An knock him to the ground.
Chen An turned over and dismounted, hugged the dizzy little girl on the horse's back with one hand, and then didn't look at the convoy guards who fell to the ground and neighed in pain, and directly grabbed one of their horses and prepared to continue to flee to Yongping Mansion.
"Death to the thief!"
However, as soon as Chen An sent the little girl on horseback, there was a sudden whistling sound behind him, and as a result, Chen An directly threw the spear in his hand backwards, instantly smashing a guy who intended to sneak attack him and flew away.
From beginning to end, he didn't look at the other party, and after riding his horse, he quickly left the scene.
"Brother Ni...... Are you all right?"
After a long time, a girl's crisp and tactful timid voice sounded in the carriage of this convoy.
"Miss, we're fine......"
The leader of the guards, who was lying on the ground, struggled to his feet while clutching his aching chest.
"Is it Ah Fu, what just happened?" the voice of the girl in the carriage sounded again.
"Returning to the eldest lady...... The little one doesn't know how to explain it to you, maybe ...... We met a robber who was in a hurry. Ah Fu gritted his teeth and looked at his injured companion on the ground. "He wounded us, then he grabbed only one horse and fled in a hurry. ”
"Ahem...... The other party is not like a robber, but a very terrifying master. !”
At this time, the guy who had made Chen An shoot fly before staggered over, and at the same time couldn't help coughing violently.
"Brother Ni?" said the girl in the carriage with doubts in her voice.
"Miss, I'm fine, I'm just suffering some internal injuries. The man glanced at the sword in his hand, and said bitterly. "I think I've been studying in the Xishan Sword School for six years, but in the end, I was defeated by a random shot from the other party, hehe......"
"Ni Gongzi don't need to be discouraged, I see that the thief seems to have fled to Yongping Mansion, if we return to Yongping Mansion and find his whereabouts at that time, the little ones will definitely help you avenge your shame!"
Ni Gongzi just wanted to reply, but his face changed suddenly, and then he yelled regardless of his internal injuries.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
After saying that, he stared at the official road behind the convoy, because he felt a strong vibration from far and near on the ground.
In a few moments, a hundred-man cavalry rushed towards them in the distance, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.
"Did you see a young man with a little girl just now?"
Everyone in the convoy looked at the mighty cavalry group with white faces, and for a moment they only felt deep despair and helplessness.
Unexpectedly, this cavalry stopped in front of them, and the colonel in charge of commanding this cavalry immediately issued a stern question to the convoy guards after discovering the war horse left by Chen An at the scene.
"Bold! We are the people of the Confucian University Scholar's Mansion who are the first rank of the imperial court, and you can know that you almost rushed and frightened the eldest lady of our Mansion!"
Knowing that the other party's target was not theirs, the leader of the convoy's escort immediately raised his toes.
"Where are you waiting?" said Ni Gongzi, who calmed down. "We did see a young man with a little girl, who had snatched a horse from us not long ago and went straight to Yongping Mansion!"
"We are the guards of Yanshan Pass, please forgive me for the offense, but the person we are talking about is a vicious man, he killed our governor last night, and now he is being ordered to hunt down the other party, and he must be brought to justice as a sacrifice to the unfortunate death of the governor!" the junior colonel hugged Ni Gongzi with a fist. "Now that we know the whereabouts of the other party, we will take our leave!"
After speaking, the colonel led the cavalry under his command directly away, and seemed to be unwilling to stay at all, even for a second.
